the first one will be impacting us for the morning commute. the second later in the day on wednesday. now, with both of these rounds of rain we're looking at gusty winds across the area too. also give us a threat of coastal flooding because it's going to be a strong onshore wind especially late wednesday night. a live look at center city looks nice. we'll continue to see the clouds increase, so as we go through tonight, temperatures dropping overnight into about the mid to upper 30s through philadelphia, around freezing or colder north and west, we'll be watching those areas closely for a wintry mix tomorrow. right now the rain is still around the southeastern part of the country, so still far away. but the clouds are getting even closer, at least the thicker cloud cover so we'll see that moving in more as we go overnight. but the rain won't be here until early tomorrow morning. this is future weather here. temperatures through south jersey and delaware will be above freezing. here is 8:00 in the morning, that's rain moving into south jersey and delaware. the lehigh valley near the poconos those are the areas we'll be watching for the highest chance of that wintry

mix. the model has been consistent showing that as we go into the later morning hours and possibly even by noon, but for the morning commute we'll be watching that closely too. now, we keep seeing the rain spreading to the north as we go through the day, tapering off later tomorrow afternoon. then really giving us a better break tomorrow night. we'll have a break in between these two rounds of rain, the second round won't move in until wednesday afternoon. so wednesday morning, we'll still be on the lighter side with the precip. then we go into the afternoon, there you see more of it starting to move in. but look at temperatures, 40s and 50s, everyone's going to see rain wednesday, then wednesday night, heavier rain, some areas could be in the 60s. so we could even along with this see very gusty winds especially along the shore. this is thursday, 1:00 in the morning dealing with heavy rain and temperatures possibly still in the 60s. so it's going to get warm as this rain moves in. can't rule out the chance for thunderstorms, too. 9:00 thursday, timely we start to see a lot of this clear out.

and rainy over the next couple of days. the onshore wind especially late wednesday, will be gusting near 50 miles an hour, inland closer to 40. the coastal flood threat will be with us too. then thursday night into friday, colder air moves in. this is when we start to dry out. we have a threat of icing on untreated surfaces with the rain that we've seen, some buddpuddl. tonight clouds increasing, patchy fog right around sunrise. 37 for the low in philadelphia, 30 north and west, then tomorrow the rain moves in a chance of a wintry mix mostly north and west of philadelphia winds increasing through the day so tomorrow we'll start to get windy, then we go into wednesday and it gets even windier, especially late wednesday night, gusty winds, we clear out thursday, the threat for ice thursday into early friday. so far the weekend looks good, a little cooler. >> thank you. i'm john clark. we'll hear from malcolm jenkins after re-signing with the eagles. why the sixers trade fell through and claude giroux out again.
